Catalogue Note
"...In Italia preferirei vendere un manifesto inventato a mille lire piuttosto che girare per le gallerie. D'altra parte qualche volta sono anche un uomo sociale: Shaman-Showman. Sciamano, perché sei sempre uno stregone quando lavori con la mano e con la testa (...) Showman perché ogni tanto ti tocca fare anche questo."
(A. Boetti cit. in M. Fagiolo dell'Arco, In quell'artista c'è uno sciamano, Il Messaggero, 23 marzo 1977)
